Bio: Katie BechtoldI operate an interplanetary spacecraft, help direct my local hackerspace, and practice chado, the Japanese Way of Tea. I like to explore new social structures including hackerspaces, which I’ve found are great places for learning useful skills and meeting awesome people. Apropos of social structures, social justice is important to me, so I try to engage with issues of race, gender, disability, class, and other social justice issues within the geek/hacker/open source community as my time and ability allow.
